Pistons vs. 76ers Odds
Game Preview
The Pistons have won 5 games in a row and look very good. Also, they are 3-1 on the road, with the most recent event coming against the Nets in Brooklyn, where they won 125-107. Cade Cunningham had 34 points and 10 assists here, while Jalen Duren scored 30 with 11 boards.
Detroit again boasts a strong and tough defense, as the team allows 110.8 points per game, the 4th fewest in the NBA. What we need to add is that the team limits the rivals to 42.3% FG, the second-best in the NBA.
Philadelphia played last night, beating Toronto at home, 130-120. Tyrese Maxey was the top scorer for Philly, having 31 points. Embiid had 29, but Trendon Watford posted a triple-double with 20 points, 17 boards, and 10 assists.
The Sixers had back-to-back losses on the road, to the Bulls and the Cavs, yet are 3-1 at home. With 123.2 points per game, this unit is the second most efficient in the NBA and posts the third-highest 3-point shooting percentage, 40.1%.
Pistons vs. 76ers Head to Head
The result in last year’s series was 2-1 in Detroit’s favor. Both teams won a game on the road, with the Pistons winning one at home as well.
Pistons vs. 76ers Predictions
Detroit has been enjoying an excellent stretch of performances lately. They score a solid number of points, and have superb defense so far. Yet this team played against weak rivals and now has to meet one of the better teams in the East, on the road. So, we pick the 76ers to defend the 3.5-point spread here.
